*sticks his tongue out playfully* Valentine’s, remember? I’m supposed to be extra sappy. Besides, I’m Mum’s kid. *grins at Amir* Yeah, I’m asking you on a date. Anything you want to do.

[polyamirous]

*snorts* Songwriting aside, I don’t think I’ve /ever/ seen your mum do anything sappy. Ever. *rests his chin on Lucas’ chest* See, all the things I was planning on doing today involved staying in bed. Ordering pizza. Playing videogames all day. *gives him a coy look* You. *kisses his lips playfully* But, yeah, I’m up for whatever you feel like doing.

[frostedsymphony]

You don’t live with my mum. *loosely drapes his arm over Amir’s waist* Normally wouldn’t protest, but I’d like to go out. We can do all that later, after I’ve worked you up a little. *smirks and leans in to kiss back* C’mon. We can get pizza out.

[polyamirous]

*shrugs* Fair point. *snorts* Please. /You/? Work /me/ up? *pushes himself up on his forearms and kisses Lucas deeper, if only to prove a point*

[frostedsymphony]

*clearly trying not to be disappointed that Amir moved away* You have more than just that effect on people. Especially on me. *joins Amir on the bed, lounging next to him* Since we have all day, you want to go out for a while?

[polyamirous]

*scooches a little closer, then reaches to stroke Lucas’ hair, grinning* Someone’s extra sappy today. *snickers, tone a little teasing* Are you asking me out on a date, Lucas?

[frostedsymphony]

But - *sighs against Amir’s lips before kissing back, pulling him closer and letting his fingers slip under the other boy’s shirt to tease at his skin* I missed you too. All two days since I saw you.

[polyamirous]

*pulls away slowly, grinning, his hand brushing a little over the taller boy's bare stomach under his shirt* I know. I have that effect on people. *takes a step back, kicks off his shoes, then plops down on Lucas’ bed, stretching his limbs before folding his arms behind his neck* But, eh, I guess you’re right. We do have all day.

[frostedsymphony]

polyamirous                                        

I’m sure you can make it work like that! *rolls his eyes* Lucky you. *slowly lowers the game, revealing a slightly sinister smirk as he reaches for Lucas’ belt loops with a free finger* Something less material, huh? *waggles his eyebrows*

I could try, but the ice might kill them. *loops his arms around Amir’s waist* No need to rush it. You just got here. We’ve got the house to ourselves all day.

[polyamirous]

This is no time to apply pokemon logic to the real world. *pokes his stomach, then sets the bouquet aside, tiptoeing to wrap his arms around Lucas' neck* Mhm. I guess. But what can I say? I missed you. *presses his mouth against the older boy, kissing him a little deeper this time*

[frostedsymphony]

*happily kisses back* Don’t use your logic on me, Amir. *shakes his head* I told you, I didn’t need anything. I’m happy just having you over, but since I like to get you things… well, I ended up getting the flowers as a bonus. *smiles* I may be a dork, but you still love me.

[polyamirous]

*makes a face at him, his cheeks still very pink, mumbling* Yeah, yeah, whatever. *reaches for the other present, but actually keeps the bouquet in his arms* What’s this one, then? *asks eve though he’s already began unwrapping*

[frostedsymphony]

I’d get a vase but we both know the flowers will be dead by the end of the day. *shrugs* It’s just something I know you’ve wanted. I figured why not get it for Valentine’s, since we don’t really do Valentine’s.

[polyamirous]

I’m sure you can freeze them so they’d last forever, right? *finishes unwrapping, eyes widening with glee* Seriously- how- this game’s sold out everywhere! Have I ever told you you’re the best? *kisses his cheek again* …Now I feel even guiltier that I didn’t get you anything.

[frostedsymphony]

That’s really not how my powers work. *grins and laughs* My father is Travis Stoll, how do you think I got it? C’mon now. *shakes his head* Don’t feel guilty. You can just give me something less material.

[polyamirous]

I’m sure you can make it work like that! *rolls his eyes* Lucky you. *slowly lowers the game, revealing a slightly sinister smirk as he reaches for Lucas’ belt loops with a free finger* Something less material, huh? *waggles his eyebrows*

[frostedsymphony]

You know how I get if things are too messy. *pouts slightly, but drops it* You’re my only boyfriend, Amir. But I’m glad you could make time for me in your busy day. *smiles at him* No rose petals, but I do have some flowers for you because it’s like the law to buy flowers on Valentine’s. *lets go of Amir to pull him over to his desk, where there’s a bouquet and a small wrapped present; he picks up both to hand them to Amir*

[polyamirous]

*notices and kisses his pout away* Exactly. Which does, in fact, make me your favorite. *winks at him* Anything for you, babe. *blinks* What- you’re kidding, right- ‘cause I didn’t… *pauses, blushing deeply as Lucas hands him the flowers* Flowers, seriously? …Dork.

[frostedsymphony]

I needed something to do. My brothers are out and my parents are very out. *shrugs and pulls Amir close, arms around the smaller boy’s waist* You’re supposed to be extra on Valentine’s. Especially when you’re married to a son of Aphrodite. But that’s your dad. I asked you over to give you a break from your parents.

[polyamirous]

So you …chose to clean up? Are you /sure/ you’re a teenage boy? *snickers, leaning into Lucas’ touch* I /guess/ baba is kinda high maintenance. …Really high maintenance. *snorts* I would’ve come over anyway. I couldn’t deny you the presence of your favorite boyfriend on Valentine’s. *tiptoes and kisses his cheek, a teasing smile on his lips* I’m disappointed you don’t have rose petals on the floor, though.

[frostedsymphony]

*turns around, flashing one of his soft smiles at Amir* You are, but I’ll let it slide, since it’s only by a few minutes. *crosses his room over to Amir, leaning in to kiss him lightly* Trouble getting away from your parents?

[polyamirous]

*raises an eyebrow, smirking as he looks around* If I’m late, why are you still cleaning up? Not that you should. I mean… I’ve been to your room hundreds of times before, Luc. *crouches to slip inside the older boy’s room, kissing back softly* Ugh. Don’t remind me. There were rose petals in the /entire/ place. Like. Everywhere. Why does dad have to be so extra about Valentine’s?

[frostedsymphony]

*busily trying to get his room tidy before Amir comes over, tossing clothes around and picking up his sheet music and stacking it on his desk before checking his watch* He’s late. Why is he late?

[polyamirous]

*slides into Lucas' room from his fire escape window, peeking his head in, grinning* Who's late?

[frostedsymphony]

‘Cause that’s such a good idea with my track record, right? *arches a brow at Amir* Just a hand? *pouts when the other boy pulls away* I’m gone for three months and that’s all the welcome home kiss I get?

[polyamirous]

*rolls his eyes* What track record? *arches an eyebrow back* Oh? What did you have in mind? *shrugs, extending his arms to either side of himself in a come hither gesture*

[frostedsymphony]

Wouldn’t know, I’m a one guy kind of guy, remember? *snickers and catches Amir around the waist* That so? Gonna prove that? *pulls the other boy closer and presses a kiss against Amir’s lips* All the time.

[polyamirous]

*shrugs, teasing* ....When in New Rome. *smirks at him* Well, I could use a hand to help me prove it. *kisses the other boy properly, expertly, slipping his tongue into Lucas’ mouth for a fraction of a second before pulling away* Good to hear. But first, breakfast. You want anything to eat?

[frostedsymphony]

You know we’re more about orgies than organization. *steps into the apartment, giving a wrinkle of his nose, bringing a hand up to measure the height difference* Not fair, you’ve got like an inch and a half on me now. When did this happen?

[polyamirous]

*snickers* Yeah? Did I miss any good orgies while I was stuck at home counting the days ‘til my lover came back? *shrugs, then waggles his eyebrows* That’s not the only place I have an inch and a half on you now. *sets his bowl on a nearby table, just beside a vase of flowers, then takes a step forward, cupping the other boy’s cheeks in his hands* Miss me?

[frostedsymphony]

Hey, Amir. The schedule got mixed up, so I’m home early. *steps up, ready to kiss the other boy, but pauses, looking Amir over* Wait, I don’t have to lean down to kiss you.

[polyamirous]

*rolls his eyes jokingly* Romans. *grins pulling the other boy inside with his free hand, his other waving the other boy in, his grin turning into a smug smirk* Yeah, yeah, come right in, shorty.

[frostedsymphony]

*buzzes the doorbell for the Solace apartment, slinging his bag over his shoulder* Amir, are you home?

[polyamirous]

Yeah, yeah. Coming. *opens the door- still only in his pajama bottoms, a bowl of cereal in one hand; he brightens instantly when he sees Lucas at the door* Luc. I thought you still had, like, a week left!
